I didn't bother looking through my post history more than two months for a post in it, since I'm a fairly regular poster in that thread. It really is missing at this point. Like it never existed. Creepy.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

It was over 1300 pages long. Might be our longest thread, or nearly. I'm gonna check the beginning of Good Things People say etc, and see if it got squished onto that one somehow.

...Nope. That ain't it either.

..And I just got back from forum stats. Boy, was I way off estimating the missing Things People Say thread's size being big. Still, it's a respectable size, and it's really sad to lose it, if that is what has happened?

Time for a mea culpa here, that was me screwing up. I was trying to mass-delete certain posts and instead deleted the threads they were in. I don't know which threads exactly were affected, though another one was Best of Social Justice.

I think (hope) most of the ones affected were old and not seeing regular activity. If you see a thread that died please feel free to restart it.

Okay. That's way better than the thoughts of a server backup misfiring or a hacker screwing with us!

Yeah, I had just passed 5000, but now I'm back down. I didn't think I had so many posts in that thread, honestly. I'm also surprised that there's not some sort of easily accessed backup mechanism for situations like this.
